The Japanese painted fern seems to be quite hardy - I have
several - but they are always very slow to appear in the
spring. They are a special favorite of Chet's, and he always
starts worrying about them early in the spring. I try to
reassure him, but they are one of the last to appear.

The hellebores sound lovely! My butterfly roses started blooming today and
my Japanese painted fern is putting out it first fronds. I was afraid the
bad winter had killed it. So that was a pleasant surprise!
